The first big problem with hers was that the insides were copper - the site said it would be all SS inside. We were expecting it to look like the rose gold KFL with better plating, but nope, all copper inside and out. Then there were problems with the posts (and something else I don't remember now), so I finally just suggested she return it. Too many issues.
Wow, no wonder you told her to return it. I would have too. Extremely odd. The one I have is nothing like that. More like what you were expecting, apparently stainless steel inside and copper plated outside. At least deck and chimney. I didn't look at the tank sections now that I think on it. I'll do that once I empty my current tankful and report back if not stainless. Obviously there's a QC issue here. Could have just been the somewhat common practice of substituting something "close" at the factory to fulfill a bulk order that's short. Wouldn't be the first time that's happened.

That's another reason I like shopping from focalecig. I've seen it mentioned often enough that I believe it. That they check and verify their deliveries and make sure they've gotten what they ordered. So that the above can't happen. I've seen a few horror stories on the FT forums where not everyone got what they thought they were ordering. Haven't heard that from FC customers (yet) ;)

Beautiful day in update New York here too. Got 3 packages of vapemail. Purple Efest 18650 batteries, Madvapes brand IMR 18490 and 14500 and my package from focalecig with my Taifuns and Turtle Ship mods. Now I just need to find an explanation of how to build a Taifun and take pictures.

Got vapemail today. The red DNA 30 looks good.
Also got the 26650 SS Panzer and Orchid v2. I'll have some toys to play with this weekend. :D

Easy peasy on your Taifun. Big diameter coil, like 3/32 or 1/8. Wick through, cut both ends about 1/8" past chimney slots. Hold chimney so it doesn't turn as you screw on the cap. Turn tank section upside down and fill to near top of stem on the top cap. Screw on base and flip it over, add driptip and put on mod. Enjoy!

I do like the eleaf lemo, big tank which is glass and massive air flow, but has one really big con to it, the air control ring is just way to loose, it is frustrating to get it set where you like it, but then when unscrew base to fill it and screw back on it moves, I actually put mine up for now, as for peed off keep dialing in where I liked the air flow, for it only to move again. Hopefully this is something they will address in a future version, because apart from that, it is a really good tank.

Put a 4 x 2mm o ring over it. It mostly stays put for me now.

    Cheers hun! Glad that you FINALLY got your black Stingray X and that you seem happy with it .. I am going to go check my tracking for the Squape R, and if that bugger is not at ISC NY Nikki gonna be really sad :cry:

    Then I am gonna have to ask Doris to hold your packages for two days to give mine a head start :laugh: ... just kidding, I wouldn't do that.

    There it is. Having an issue with threads on 510 connection. Very tight, can't thread igo l on it without taking cap off and turning it on holding screw posts. Hope it smooths out or it may have to be returned.

    Looks good, hopefully the thread gets better for you, so far I've had no issues at all with mine.

    Poking my head in to say hello and say that I got the big dripper clone in, ordered off ebay because I was impatient :(. Will let you all know how it works. So far just the build quality looks much better than the pontus that I was so disappointed in. I have only taken it out of the box and first off realized the grub screws seemed hard to get in the post holes. It comes with three short ones and two long ones. I assume I am supposed to use the short ones....Will work more with it tomorrow. I am pretty beat tonight. The negative post also spin however it looks like the screws on the bottom will tighten that up.
    More to come!

    I got my BD clone from Ebay today as well and it's a trainwreck. Grub screw won't thread into the positive post and air flow cutouts are janky. Seller is sending me a new deck at no charge. Threads on the base are super rough as well but I can live with that if the new deck fixes the other issues. I was hoping to get it built tonight. Instead, I'm fat fingering my new CLT... it likes to cut coil leads which is making me :mad:
